Merrick the Art Thief

“I need to talk to your dad.” Merrick sat up, but found himself back on the bed before he could breathe.


Merrick placed his hand on top of Grant’s. He kept his eyes closed as he took several deep breaths.


When he looked at Grant, Grant’s eyes were tear-filled.


“Here, it’s okay.” Merrick welcomed Grant into his arms.


After Grant sat back, Merrick wiped a lone tear from Grant’s cheek.


They were even further away from completing this job, but why burden Grant with that. Already in one day they’d escaped the Feds and Jordan with fights and car chases, ending with flying off into the night. Why make that all for nothing when Grant was scared…even if it was true.


“I’d better go see what’s going on.” With slow movements, Merrick sat up. After he planted his feet firmly on the Oriental rug, he stretched his back.
